Through the 1870s and 1880s, Woodard grew his business to include furniture and caskets in addition to sash, blinds, and doors.

To increase his clientele, Woodard diversified his product line to produce similar item in varying quality and price, so that a consumer could purchase a simple pine bedstead, or an elaborately carved ash or walnut unit.

In 1885, Woodard's Furniture and Casket Company had grown large enough that he constructed a new facility to house it at the corner of Cass and South Elm Streets.

[3] The Woodard Furniture Company remained nearby until 1995, when moved its factory and offices into a new building.

The factory has simple four-over-four double hung sash windows in bowed arch openings.
